The Fossil Sink has been more than 60 million years in the making. Sort of. While the sink itself has only been available for three years, the spiral corkscrew design is inspired by fossils from the Cretaceous Period. It’s made of concrete (the sink, not the fossils) and gives any bathroom a modern yet prehistoric look. Available through High Tech Design.

One feature common to nearly all camera bags: You have to take your camera out of the bag to use it. Not so with the Cloak Camera Bag. It has an bottom that unzips and rolls up. At the top there’s a slit that opens for a camera shutter button. In combination, those features let you shoot photos through the bag. Excellent for photographers who want to take photos especially quickly or discretely. Or for those who are simply lazy. $50.
Update: Sadly, Cloak is currently sold out of their bags. Happily, they are coming out with a newer version. In the meantime, check out these 8 cool under $50 gifts for photographers.
